A Merry Reggae Xmas
December 25th 2006 05:56
I enjoy the festivities surrounding Christmas and seeing my family and all that, but I won't lie, I don't feel a spiritual connectiont to the day. I don't sit here and reflect on the birth of Christ, whether or not he existed. I just am not interested.
One has to say though, it is a pretty good excuse to eat a whole lot of food, score/give some presents and see your family in a relatively relaxrd frame of mind. Mum gets a bit aggro at some stages, but we stopped having the extended family round to our house so we have a pretty chilled time.
I'm in two minds as to whether or not it is worth the pain of having to buy lots of presents though. I am pretty good at buying presents one at a time for birthdays. I can give it some thought and allow enough time for the purchase of single gift at a time when there aren't thousands of people out shopping. When it comes to Christmas though, I quickly run out of ideas and I become pissed off pretty quickly.
That said, I am enjoying the spa my parents recently installed and listening to reggae and rocksteady in wonderful Wollongong. Not a bad life.
